Laboratory

We are committed to provide outstanding test quality and customer
service. Our primary focus is the inpatient and outpatient population of
the hospital, as well as providing testing 24/7. Advanced equipment
at the St.Vincent Jennings Laboratory enables experienced
technicians to provide accurate laboratory testing for patients in a
timely manner. The laboratory area provides a spacious phlebotomy space
with a comfortable patient waiting area. Outpatient hours in the lab are
Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to
12:00 noon.

Direct Access Testing

We are pleased to offer direct access testing, a new service that
allows patients to come in and request laboratory testing without
requiring a doctor’s order. There is a defined list of available tests
and panels.

Who can have Testing Done?

Any person, 18 years of age or older, can request testing on themselves.

How are tests paid for?

Payment by cash, check, or credit card is expected at the time of
specimen collection. Because most insurance companies will pay only for
testing requested by a doctor or other healthcare provider’s written
order, reimbursement by insurance is usually not available. St.Vincent
Jennings will not bill your insurance company for any testing done
through this program.

Will these test results be sent to my doctor?

Test results will not be sent directly to your physician. The results
will be mailed to the participant of the program. Test results will
also become part of your official “medical record” at St.Vincent
Jennings Hospital.

How will i get my test results?

Test results will be placed in the mail to you. Please allow a week for your results.

How do i determine if these test results are normal, and if they
are all normal does that mean that there is nothing physically wrong
with me?

All test results will have an accompanying “normal range” printed on
the report. Normal ranges can vary based on the age and sex of the
person being tested, so you should compare your results to the normal
range on your report only.

Laboratory test results by themselves cannot be used to determine if
you have or do not have a specific diagnosis or condition. Even if all
the laboratory test results are in the “normal” range on your report, it
does not eliminate the possibility that you may have a condition that
warrants further investigation by your personal doctor. Laboratory test
results are used with other diagnostic tests and a physical examination
by a qualified healthcare provider, such as a medical doctor or nurse
practitioner, to diagnose health conditions, make treatment plans, and
monitor your progress. It his highly recommended that all participants
in this program discuss the results obtained from these screening tests
with your qualified healthcare provider.

When can i have direct access testing done?

Testing is available Monday-Friday, 6:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
